Chapter 299 Bear Children
Chandler had spent ten years at the police academy, and when he was angry, it was truly terrifying. Even just a furrowed brow emanated an aura so intense it felt like he was about to devour someone, leaving even Charlotte a bit overwhelmed.
Charlotte, however, naturally assumed that Chandler’s anger was because Meryl had been impure for a long time.
With a malicious glee, she said, “It was Lydia who said that.”
Chandler sneered, saying, “Rumors and gossip are best untouched, Charlotte.
“After all, spreading rumors is a pastime best suited for middle–aged gossips, not someone of your standing in high society, wouldn’t you agree?”
As soon as Chandler finished, Walter wheeled him away.
It wasn’t until their figures had disappeared that Charlotte fully realized what had just happened.
She thought, “Was Chandler subtly calling me a gossip?”
Fuming, Charlotte clenched her fists, nearly grinding her teeth to dust.
In the hospital room, Meryl was staring intently at Lydia.

“Lydia, you know if our kidnapping was an accident or if you had something to do with it.”

Lydia responded, “What do you mean? If I had been scheming, why would I have let the kidnappers take me too? And I’m pregnant–why would I put myself and my child in such danger?”
Meryl’s gaze fell to Lydia’s belly.
She thought, “Pregnant?
No wonder Charlotte has been so insistent on Lydia resting in bed before leaving. Turned out it was because of her baby grandson.”
Seeing Meryl’s eyes shift to her stomach, Lydia smiled, “Meryl, we both married into the Aniston family, and I’m already expecting, while you still haven’t made any progress. Are you unable to conceive?”
Lydia’s words were dripping with a smugness that even Dalton found unsettling.
He thought, “When does Lydia become so shallow?”
Meryl raised an eyebrow. “Lydia, are you really flaunting your pregnancy like some sort of victory? I don’t need to use a child to keep a man around like you do.”
Lydia’s smile froze instantly.

She thought, “I assumed Dalton and I were the only ones who knew about the divorce plans.
But from what Meryl just said, she’s known for a while?”
Lydia shot a resentful glance at Dalton, thinking, “I can only guess that they’ve met privately…
But Dalton is my husband. Does he have to humiliate me like this?
Are they getting back together even before we’re officially divorced?”
Lydia bit her lip hard, gripping the bed sheets tightly.
Just then, Walter wheeled Chandler back into the room.
Chandler caught Lydia’s snide remark and said sharply, “Who says a woman has to bear children?”
Meryl picked up on Chandler’s defense and quickly added, “Exactly, my husband is quite capable. Whenever we decide we want a child, it will happen.“.
Dalton’s face went stiff.
His eyes couldn’t help but dart towards Chandler’s midsection.
He wondered, “Is Meryl really satisfied with Uncle Chandler? Are they… very active? Have they tried different positions?”
